VCA Voice Comand Question (2007)
If the CD in the single slot is an MP3 CD, and I want to listen to that MP3 CD, and say: "CD" while in any other mode, the voice responds "No CD inserted" or something to that effect, as if it can't see the MP3 cd in the slot. The choice is there in the soft key on the screen as CD or CDC, so I can switch to the single slot MP3 CD to listen manually, but the voice comand doesn't see an MP3 CD in there, and will not switch to the single slot player. It DOES see a conventionally recorded audio CD, whether it be store bought or I burned it, and WILL switch over to the single slot when I say "CD".
Anyone else notice this? Is there another comand to speak to make it switch over to the single slot with an MP3 in the drive?

It works as described in the Manual only when the CD is burned as a conventional Audio CD. It doesn't see ANY CD at all if it is burned as an MP3. The only wat to go from any other application to the single slot CD is manually, pushing buttons, not by voice.
It doesn't matter to me. I'm just glad to have MP3 capability. I just wondered if any one else w/ VCA had noticed. (Strangly, the car handles [reads & displays folders & Song Titles] on MP3 CDs differently between the changer and the single slot anyway.)
Still Thrilled with the car!

Same on mine Barry. I can understand this on an '04 because the VCS was programmed long before the MP3 capability was enabled.
But, apparently someone at MB overlooked this when programming/updating the VCS on a newer model.
